Life Through A Royal Lens
This one-day intensive workshop is aimed at those new to digital photography who are looking to make the most of their digital camera.
About the workshop
Your tutor will guide you through the various settings, modes and menus and how to use these to develop your skills. During the session, you will have full access to Hillsborough Castle's 100 acres of historical gardens. Here, you will cover the basics of composition, framing and gain useful tips and techniques on storing and sharing your photographs.
If you're spending a few days around the Castle, why not also book one of our popular Garden Workshops, where you can learn more about this idyllic setting.
